How could they feel good about blackballing her after such a minor mistake? She didn't grab the mic and start singing. She was young and was into the moment. She did a superb job playing Lisa Lopes in Crazy Sexy Cool. I hope she made it but if entertainment fails you better have a backup plan. I will never forget a scene in the New Edition Story where Michael Bivins realized that all he could do was sing and dance and if that suddenly ended he would have to go back to Boston. He set his sights on becoming a manager. But I never heard if those boys went back to school. Good luck Lil Mama.
